Sorry, what now? Personally I tend to think this government suggesting scrapping the right to appeal is potentially an even bigger issue with Lammy's reported proposals than the idiotic idea of getting rid of juries. This would be dangerous territory. #r4today

Child poverty costs the UK economy an estimated £39 billion per year - more than ten times the money that keeping the two-child limit 'saves'.
And as the limit itself is the largest driver of rising child poverty in the UK, scrapping it would be the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
